Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Pros: Ridiculous graphics and a diverse range of landscapes, mission types and vehicles. Absolutely the most fluid gameplay I've ever experienced. At no point in time did I ever think "this would be a good point to save and take a break." The game starts at 100mph and doesn't slow down. Dialogue is in-game and always mapped over the top of what you're doing. No cut-scenes. The only time you get any break is when the next mission is loading. Just enough story to keep the game moving forward and tie together the ridiculous variety of battlefields. Brilliant. Just brilliant.


Cons: At times, a little heavy on the bravado, but it works because, unlike a movie, you aren't just watching it unfold, you're in the shit yourself. Unfortunately, the single play mode definitely is short. I think I got through it in 6-8 hours, and I died a lot.


Verdict: Huge boner. In fact, after watching the main trailer again, I just realized I'm going to have to play through it one more time.
